Anybody seen the new Dark Earth Glocks?

dogtown_tom, that's exactly what I was thinking. I thought to remembered something about a mandate that toy guns had to have an orange tip, but nothing about the color of a real firearm.

It appears that the color of crap is worth $100.00 more. Doesn't do a thing for me.

At Grabagun the Gen 4s in FDE are actually CHEAPER than the standard Gen 4 offerings...

I just picked up a Gen 4 G19 & 17... I'm psyched!!!

I believe some states regulate "toy" guns and colors. I, however, live in a free state (so far).

If you point a fake gun, water pistol or airsoft gun at a police officer expect to get shot. And an orange tip wont do anything to keep that from happenning. There is a kook in Tennessee who painted an orange tip to a firearm in an effort to provoke police....it did.

There is no Federal or Texas law that prohibits Duracoating a gun any color you want. In the last year I've transferred rasberry, billfold brown, lemon yellow, FDE, OD, pink and a dozen other colors....all perfectly legal.

This is perfectly understandable, especially with all of the new "colored" firearms showing up. However, there are states that have laws about this. I actually believe New York is one (but if I am wrong, please let me know).

Here is a link to a New York court case about colored firearms. Bottom line, in this jurisdiction "deceptively colored handguns" are prohibited.

The folks who hate Glocks will have yet another logical reason to hate Glocks. Goodie.

.....I like the FDE look....

Not because it is "desert like where the military is" but because it is different. It gives a splash of color to an otherwise soulless gun

 

[txgunsuscg]

Saw them at my lgs. I think they look good....

Picked up one of the Gen 4 23s in FDE today. I dig it.

 

[WinThePennant]

I'll be in the market soon to buy a G17. I'd love to snare one of those FDE G17s.

Sargents1, you would be surprised to see how fast FDE guns and furniture sell at the shop where I work. My theory is that people want to use what the military is using, or what they think the military is using. We are fighting a desert war, therefor people are buying tan guns. Glock just picked the wrong color variation the first time. I suspect if they had originally gone with FDE they would have never dropped them from their line up. Heck, i've had three people ask me in the past week about the FNP Tactical in FDE.

This is all just just my theory. I suppose we'll see if I'm right.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised and I think your theory is pretty good. I just think it's kind of silly.

It also means that if you drop your Glock while getting out of the truck in the pre-dawn before a hunting trip, you will have to spend 15 min looking for it because it blends in.

I have never understood why flashlights and pocket knives come in camo...so easy to lose.
